Two Tigers (black tea from The Devotea Core Collection) This month we are celebrating this tea’s retirement. Strong Indian black tea and strong Chinese black tea. Smashed headlong together. A full bodied mix that is great for when you need a boost.

Blueberry Infusion (tisane from The Devotea USA) I found this tea and enjoyed it, and since everyone was asking for a lovely herbal tisane I decided to share this batch.
This all-fruit infusion of dried blueberries, apples, raisins, and black currants contains no caffeine because there are no tea leaves in it. The longer you brew it, the richer it gets. Pours like wine.

As in other parts of life, it takes time to get stuff done, and by now we thought we’d be announcing some big international news for our brand. Various bits of red tape have meant this is not so. Stay tuned!

We need to put our entire Australian team onto bringing these exciting new developments to fruition. This means that all of us will be travelling about extensively during the next few months.

Regretfully, this means we will not have the staff to operate our usual on-line store from June 15th, 2014 to July 31st, 2014. Orders taken during that time will be shipped August 1st.

Mokabari East Assam (black tea from Lochan Teas)
A rich 2nd flush Assam black tea you will want to drink everyday.Rich and full flavored, this is a tea that is great whether you like milk, sugar, or your tea without any additives. Robust enough to be a morning heartstarter, classy enough to suit an elegant afternoon tea.

White Tea Concoctions Liquorice (The Devotea USA core collection)
This month we are celebrating this tea’s retirement. This is a simple blend of genuine liquorice root with fine white teas. Do not fear, this is not an artificial liquorice like in candies, it is a savory flavor that we have mellowed out with some soft vegetal tones If you want that “liquorice allsort” taste just add plenty of sugar.

Spearmint Tisane (The Devotea USA)
If you prefer a softer mint tea than cool peppermint this naturally caffeine free spearmint is for you. This refreshing herb has a rounded, slightly smoother taste than peppermint, with warming and cooling notes.

The guys that host our site are having a major upgrade, conveniently from Midnight for 6 hours on Thursday. This is inconveniently from 3.30pm until 9.30 pm on Thursday (30/1/14) if you are located in Adelaide as our head office is, 1-9 in Perth, 3-9 in Sydney and Melbourne and Tasmania and Queensland just confuse us in the summer. The rest of the world, just make a cuppa and work it out.
The result is that the site might play up a bit or be intermittently down for those few hours, The long term result should be up to a 50% speed increase!
